Official "Should I" Thread

I wouldn't with Rice. Gotta protect your team.

I would try to package a 2 for 1. Powell and Mendenhal for Lamar Miller (would be an excellent trade) or a Ryan Matthews or Lacy or something. Look at what teams stunk week 1 and see if they're willing to shake things up.

 

Another question,

I am currently winning my matchup 102.90 to 102.52. my opponent has no one else left to play and I have the texans defense left. Should I just bench my defense and guarantee the win or go for more points. I'm probably overthinking this haha.

 

I would leave the Texans defense in unless you think the Chargers are going to score 35+ points on them

 

Well he rejected the boldin trade too. It shouldn't be too hard to trade in this league though because some of the teams have huge holes because of the auction draft.

Good point

 

let the DEF in, sometimes stats are corrected by 2 or 3 yards, and that could be bad for you.
Also, even Ravens defense got some points due to the sacks and fumbles.

 

Roll with the Texans D. If you had the Chargers D, against a tough opponent, I might say pull them. But Texans will at least get a few sacks and 1 turnover seals the deal, else the Chargers just can't score like 40 pts.

 

I'd probably go for the sure win. Defenses have gotten me negative points before, I've never had a D as good as the Texans but I still wouldn't risk it. Just pull the D and take the 1-0 start

 

Actually, just thought about this, stat corrections do occasionally happen and could screw you as your only up by like .3

 

I'm a fantasy football novice. I have stafford and Alex smith as my qbs, should I drop smith for schaub?

 

You're probably going to roll with Stafford all season if he stays healthy. DET's bye week is week 9. Alex Smith is up against Bills D that week. Stick with Stafford/Smith.

 

Much appreciated. Also, I have Jared cook and jimmy graham I need rb depth just not sure which rb would be realistically possible for Jared cook. My current rb's are Doug Martin, Stevan Ridley and demarco Murray.

 

I'd really consider dropping Smith for Schaub. Stafford is definitely your starter at this point, but Schaub has a much better track record than Alex.

Schaub is 20+ TDs and 4k+ yards every year he starts 16 games. Alex smith has never accomplished either. With Hopkins, he has even more weapons this year.

Again, it's your backup... but I gamble on performance leaps with promising young players and/or talented backups getting their first starting gigs. When players have established track records as starters like these two, I go with the track record.

 

Would you guys trade Peyton Manning for McCoy?

That would leave me Andy Dalton starting and Rice, Foster and McCoy as my starting backs with Steve Smith and Decker at WR.

 

Heck yes. No doubt. As long as you can play 3 RBs which I imagine you could with the FLEX.

You do need help at WR though, load your bench with high upside WRs (Edelman, Randle, Percy Harvin, Josh Gordon, TY Hilton, etc) if any of those guys are available.

There are enough QBs that could be a solid backup to Dalton including: Vick, Palmer, Eli, Cutler, Schaub, Pryor, Manuel. Should be some available.

 

I was assuming standard scoring, let me know if it's PPR/extra passing incentives.

 

It's a PPR league and I do have a flex spot which Lance Moore is currently taking up. I figured if anything I could flip one of the backs for a WR1 and RB2.

 

Take the trade. I was actually shocked at how few passes McCoy caught last night, thought we would see more of that. Again, load up on the high upside WRs that might eventually start for you, and you're solid.

 

The guy backed out. Sigh.

 

Got offered Rodgers for Kaep and DeMarco Murray. I said no, right call?
